    This thread really interests me, not for arguments sake but more of WHY lol.

    I think that tac'd out ARs and AKs are kind of like a honda with a body kit. 99% of people have them soley to floss with. IF someone breaks into your home, who thinks to grab their tactical AK, unfold the stock, blah blah. I think i'll grab my .45 or 9mm.

    That being said, i love the rifles and have a Colt ar-15. Ive used the rifle to shoot 100 & 300yd matches. I don't have a folding stock or laser sights or even a grenade launcher.

    Your sounding pretty close minded. Sure, alot of people build thier guns with all kinds of mall ninja shit on them. But then there are tons of people that build them with the basics: aimpoints, tac latch, sling and a vert grip and then train with them like crazy. Just look at the training offered by Bob Rodger and the like, there are waiting lists for it. Point is there are the car show people and there are the people who take thier cars to track and beat the hell outa their cars and themselves. You seem to be forgetting about the second group.

    And i am not sure where you assumed people use ar's as their HD guns, i would say that's largely a false assumption.
